When I was younger, my mother told me to work hard so I wouldn't grow up and have to live in my truck... Now that I'm older, I want to work hard so I can go live in my truck lmao
I felt this ! Especially if it’s anything like this !🔥
I thought about this for awhile and Go4x4 channel is inspiring me more and more.
I hear you Carlos!
Right 😂
250,000 dollar house payment vs 80,000 truck payment
Rattlesnakes everywhere and you go hiking in jesus-flops.
Jesus flops 😂
True, that.
ah and Spiders and Scorpions so much poison shit XD
I only walk like that bc if you saw me you would believe in jesus!
Snakes or not, hiking that trail in flip-flops.....yikes.
Damn she literally got your back and then say you're glad she left? Damn lol savage
Right!?
Fr
Lmao
Watching this young man cruising alone in his truck, popping out a huge knife to open his drink, with music going and his skateboard in the background just gave me such a weird sense of inner peace. just a guy having a good time.
it must be nice being rich kid on youtube getting 1000 of euros just by doing what u like
@@Dualities No need to be bitter.
@Jordan H Nothing wrong with making that kind of money. He's bought a nice modest house from it and it doesn't seem like the cash has "gotten to him".
@Jordan H so not having to worry about money would stress you out? Silly comment
exactly!
True Minnesota boy if he’s wearing flip flop to hike down the Grand Canyon😂
Right. Made complete sense once he said it was his first back packing adventure on the channel lol
I did it, and don't recommend it! 🙄 lol
Those are hiking sandals, just so you know! :)
@@martinhofrichter8139 So were mine lol. Just like any other shoe, I just didn't pick the higher end though and you get what you pay for.
🤣
Dude, for me it seems, thats the horror valley. People from highschool, rattlesnakes, no trouts and getting sunburned 😣
Forgot the water.
Man your savage and I like that keep it up
Sounds like any day of the week for me, as I live in a snake enclosure with incubators and no one can hear my screams
How can people forget water lol I could never I take water with me everywhere
@@YungWiz91 is that why you call yourself young wiz? No cap
I’m so fucking confused. Can any y’all speak engrish mcmuffin?
Just a tip my friend, but never camp on a riverbed or near one. It can rain 100 miles away and come flooding you in seconds and you would never know. Awesome vid and keep up the good work
There are something like 13 river companies that take thousands upon thousands of people down the Colorado river in the Grand Canyon every year and they camp on the beach every night. You certainly wouldn’t want to sleep in a slot canyon or a wash susceptible to flash flooding, but with some normal common sense, checking the weather, and knowing what season you’re in, its as safe anything that’s fun to do.
@@jimyeats I understand your perspective, but even if the weather seems nice to you in that area it does not mean it is in all the areas that connect to that river. Colorado River feeds from a very wide range and any of those areas can level out at any moment. It's common sense to never camp near a river or rover basin for this fact. I'm not sure what touring company you are speaking of because I am an AZ native and have been on that very river and the camps are never alongside the river. They are a good 50 feet away. I simply wanted him to be cautious and take this into hand any time he is near a river. Even if the current one he was at had a smaller statistic of flooding he should not get comfortable and do it with other rivers
I was thinking the same thing
It's the Colorado River, not the Virgin River through Zion NP.
@@jimyeats and yet someone with a pro crew was washed from shore and drowned just last month doing exactly what you say should be safe. Look it up, it was all over the news, think she was early 40s on a multi day trip down the canyon.
Dudes at the bottom of the grand canyon population zero, finds random blonde girl to put sun tan lotion on his back 🤣
He said they went to highschool together but still funny 😂
@@laurenbloss2345 he went to the same high school as one of them dont think it was that girl tho
clearly he said, somebody in the group he met, knows somebody from his high school.
Imagine he kidnapped while he sleeping in that thing
While her bf watches from the kayak
Recently just discovered Mav and i’ve spent the past 48 hours binging all his videos - Something strangely relaxing about watching his videos 😂
Sameee
I'm guilty also
I got high and binged watched the first time I discovered him.
Makes you want to go out there and do what he is doing but it isn't easy.
I know right I’ve been watching him for like almost 2years
HIGHLY suggest "Kara and Nate" , as well as "Ghost Town Living"
You made me very nerve racked with this one! Almost falling in the canyon, napping in snake infested bushes, sleeping in flash flood areas. I was about ready to break out the momma in me. Glad your safe now!
You and me both. Except I'm a Grammy. I said Mav, sunscreen, heavy socks, boots, shirt, hat and snake bite kit. Rattlesnakes swim and sleep in the shade. I kept thinking Mav must be ok he was able to post this video. Once a Mom and Grammy the worry remains. Hugs
Me too!
just pulls out a machete while driving to open a bottle!!
Danger multiplier
@radabee1 bro?
@radabee1 he definitely doesn't wipe , poopy butt dried peanut butter crust.
Mav: "I don't want my back to get sunburned, because that would suck...."
Also Mav: doesn't put shirt on...
Lol
We seriously need a “Mav’s Roadtrip” playlist.
This right here. We need it.
Yeap!
I guess he is more into EMO .. LIKE FALLING IN REVERSE AND ESCAPE THE FATE...
@@vlad777boi2 i still would listen
A playlist in order from first vid to last
Can’t believe you did that with sandals.
My thought exactly!
Yes! Cheap backpack, add cheap shoes and much safer than the Sandals!
I was screaming BOOTS!!!! 😂
never goes wrong with chaco sandal 😆
My broken ankle just screams watching this, no rattlers in the UK but...C'MON! I just put my foot in a hole and snapity snap! Take care Mav.
The worst part about rattlesnakes is if the weather is nice, theyre out. Oh and they will chase you and swim fast af. And almost every single time ive seen one, theres been a grown man trying to mess with it. So glad Mav made it through that nap and will be wearing boots next time!!! I was sweating bullets! Hes always so calm, i love these videos.
When he said they was a "moat" between him and the snakes i was like.... uhhh no. There isnt. Lol. They are fast as shit. This whole video gave me anxiety
Really they swim!! We don’t have snakes in our country.
As a person whom lives in Arizona and deals with rattlesnakes they aren’t very aggressive snakes unless messed with, if you leave them alone they’ll leave you alone. :)
@@IINyanCatII rattlesnakes strike when startled. They sense heat. I have been chased and watched people be chased and lunged at. Ive lived in phoenix or flagstaff or sedona most of my life, was born here, as were my parents and both sets of grandparents. But hey yeah go off lol.
Hi, I work with, breed and keep Rattlesnakes. I've worked with thousands of them.
Snakes, especially rattlesnakes don't "chase" anyone, They're defensive animals about their territory and where they live and breed. Specifically the ones seen here are Speckled Rattlesnakes that retain fairly calm demeanors when left alone.
You can be born somewhere all you want but that doesn't mean you're knowledgeable about the animals. They do strike when startled, just as any human can punch or even shoot someone when startled. They have a right to defend themselves and their homes. Quit fear mongering about animals that have a right to exist and be where they are naturally from.
Sandals and snake bites and sunburn, OH MY! So many things I'd have done differently Mav, but by the time I'd worried about it and considered all the precautions, I wouldn't have gone. You did. You win.
We all need a friend like Mav.
gosh, you’re cute cody
Goodness gracious codys a cutie
Holy shit Cody your king
Dang Cody u a king
We all need a cutie like Cody
I'm going camping in my suv tomorrow. You and Steve Wallis have really inspired me. Thanks Mav 💜
Yes! Steve Wallis! Love both channels
where are you camping?
@@jpnotagamer lol u sus bro
@@chieflongsock creepy lol
Post the vid
I’m also from Minnesota and an experienced backpacker! You’ve probably already been told this by now, but you can filter that water in front of you. If you filter water, you don’t have to carry quite as much. There are all kinds of water filters on the market. I like the Sawyer Squeeze Mini because it’s inexpensive and lightweight. 😊
Rookie moves Mav. No trekking polls, no water purification, improper shoes, no sun screen. Very glad you had a safe trip in spite of it.
Yeah folks might do exactly what they see hehe
@@egigstertroll3521 part of learning
“Kinda glad they left… didn’t really want to share this campsite”… 😂
“Okay, so now I’m safe on my island”. Being from Florida, I’m thinking bout that rattlesnake we saw go for a swim at the beach one time. He beat us to the water, and kept on going. Sorry to burst your bubble Mav. 🥰
Yep, he's safe on his moat, until one of those slitherins decides to swim it and visit lol.
There was a young lady in Wyoming who was water skiing and went through a ball of rattlesnakes, that killed her! I knew the diver who recovered her body and learned that day that rattlesnakes do in fact swim quite well.
@Brandy Sutherland that was around 2000 in Wyoming at Boysen reservoir
@Brandy Sutherland correction....I was told about it by him in 2000, I had just moved there so I'm not sure when the actual incident happened but it was at Boysen reservoir. They told me about it while we were out there water-skiing ourselves. He made good money for that dive!
@Brandy Sutherland no problem, yeah I didn't find it online either but was told how much he was paid and that just led into other conversation. The story creeped me out, I mean imagine you're water-skiing and bam, out of nowhere not only did you hit something to take you down but then you're immediately attacked by it as well. That weighed heavily on my mind while I was at that very reservoir skiing and knee boarding! And these weren't the kinds of guys to tell stories to rattle your cage, they were paramedics and firefighters and life flight pilots who were talking mostly amongst themselves and I was connected by being the boyfriend of one. Dinner conversations were pretty interesting, to say the least.
@Brandy Sutherland and yeah, I ran into my fill of rattlesnakes every part of Wyoming i lived in. You just couldn't get away from them
I’m from Minnesota and this is the first video of yours I’ve ever watched. I find it hilarious that you’re in the Grand Canyon of all places and see someone also from Minnesota and bonded over knowing at least one mutual person 😂😂 the most Minnesotan thing ever! ❤️ great content
When he said he was glad they didn't stay to camp there😅 totally me. I'm the same way. I go camping on Lake Michigan and walk miles down the beach to have alone time to deal w the stuff in my head. Anyone walking by I become so territorial and then realize I have no claim to anything there to be greedy. But pray that they don't linger around in the area I've found as my sanctuary.
LOLOL that lumber is worth like $200 right now 😂
That’s what I was thinking
Did he steal that lumber?
Why ?
@@GlancingCupid because lumber is up 400%
@@blanknone5408 He just borrowed it......
Anyone else see that spirit leave that back of his truck at 3:14 lmfao?
15:05 That moment when mav says he wants an ice cream sandwich and you are eating one as he says that
You know he is a legit nice guy when a stranger says “oh, let me run you down with sun screen” haha.
Well, and he's hot. So, there's that.
Is it just me or does anybody else watch just for his cooking? Lol I’m down for a trip like this. Legit.
I do to😅
Among other things
@@oliverpayne1653 what do you mean? Lol
I love camping, but basically yeah. No other camping TH-camr cooks such elaborate and well thought out meals as him.
Outher than getting some tal,
How's your spare tire situation Mav, if you are going deep into some of these trails alone, makes sure you have a full size spare (that matches your Raptor wheels/tires). If you can't carry a 2nd spare somewhere, make sure to have a tire repair kit and inflation system. A lot of tow companies won't go into a dirt road for recovery, the off-road tow companies are rare and expensive.
you might have been told already and this is very late, but he has spare tires and a repair kit along with spare battery for his truck
He can call me on his satellite phone and I will come save him. No matter where!
sandals, snakes and sucker fish. Looks like the perfect adventure! Thanks for sharing.
Cactus will go right through your flip-flops. Been there, paid the doctor bill. p.s. Rattlesnakes can swim, too. Love your videos!
I was gonna say! Our boy mav is one lucky summina
I died when Mac said I’m kinda glad they left. That’s me when I go camping lol you the goat bro. Let me know if you bro come toWA
there are very few personalities in this world i find genuinely charming. youre one of em. remind me of my friend.
Your videos make me smile every ONE OF THEM THANK U
If you noticed, the rattlesnakes didn't want anything to do with you. Most, if not everyone, crawled away from you when it noticed you. If it felt cornered, it rattled. As long as you leave them alone they will leave you alone. Cheers 🍻 great video 👍🏼
I can say with confidence that mountain house beef stroganoff with noodles is the best dehydrated food
Na son, the chili Mac is where it's at
all Military people who were in country knows MRI's. normally after a MRI Military drink plenty of water....... God error MRE's... medical brain cramp maybe I need an... MRI...
I’ve watched Mav for years now, no clue how I didn’t see this video until now.
Very inspiring Mav. Thanks for these amazing vlogs and keep on trucking bud! You rock.
I like how Mav doesn’t need his phone to entertain him he just enjoys life
That's living life my friend .. and now our generation is like so into technology and stuff and because of that we forget the beauty of what's outside......
Imagine being almost 38 years old and smart phones never existed before being 22 yrs old. I dont have to imagine. Outdoors was our entertainment.
if he doesnt need his phone why does he constantly have it with him filming stuff? your comment made absolutely no sense
You took that comment quite literally
I’m hoping I can be that way
Love how the mom took pity on Mav and put sunscreen on him.
I think chicks dig young mav if he wasn't always on the road he could pile up the woman
Lucky lady🤓
@@adamthomas4638 Definitely! I'm 49 and I would LOVE to rub sunscreen on his cute little back!!🤫😜🤪
elteescat LMAOOO you foolin 😂😂
@@elteescat imagine this comment but with the genders reversed.
The fuck.
I am definitely a mom! LOL Sitting here saying "Maverick do not go near that snake!... why don't you have sneakers on to hike?? Don't camp there, it can flood!!!" LMAO! I worry so much about this kid I don't even know :)
Ever since your channel was on my recommended list this has been my favorite so far of all your awesome adventures, please stay safe Mav and keep on camping 🏕️
“I don’t want my back to get burned”. Maybe put a shirt on?hmmm? Hahaha
Only mav is capable of meeting a random group of women and having them rub lotion on his back.
You look happy and peaceful a great place to be. Thanks for all your videos.
Dude, you got the best music taste out of anybody I’ve watched on TH-cam!
Definitely beef stroganoff! Taking it along with us this weekend. It’s a go to every time! Enjoyed the flops and snakes.
Bro stick around the Grand Canyon and let me bring you some big ass steaks for us to cook, im literally heading there tomorrow right after work 24 hour drive! Cant wait!!!
@mav
I’m here now waiting. Pls be honest.
@@MirandaSour as do i lol which is why im going for 10 days solo, but figured we can both fight it long enough to enjoy a big ole steak lol
I'm literally heading there in a few days too lol it'd be dope to get a big Ole posse together to go down there lol
Doesnt Mav post videos days after the time he was actually there?
OMG YOUTH! Love it. Keep on, dude.
Mav rly felt cool lmfaaaaaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo that is so funny he popped the bottle open and knew he had to go in for a sip immediately for a good shot & it over fizzed right into his nose HQHAHAAHAAAA & THE FACT THAT HE STILL POSTED IT THATS WHY I FW MAV, FULL TRANSPARENCY
Mav, great to see you make it down there and enjoy the trail. Brittany didn’t encounter (or at least “see”) any snakes. Just the cat prints. Can’t believe you made the drive back out. But it looks like it was well worth it. Our best to you and your BFF Caspian says hi and sends a reminder to get some proper hiking shoes. 😂 Take care brother. ~ Eric
Who is Brittany
@@josueoropeza5357 my wife. ~ a Eric
@@josueoropeza5357 There’s a collab video. You should watch it. It’s good.
Does anyone else get the feeling that we are watching Mav slowly decend into madness?
When he starts talking to volleyballs ill start to wonder.
you’re not watching connor murphy
This place The Grand Canyon is the perfect example for "the beauty is always associate with danger" amazing place..... Thanks Mav!
" I hope I don't burn my back on the way out." Mav put on a shirt!
That’s like a million dollars worth of wood right there
That's why it's guarded by rattlesnakes
Lmao
I love that’s he doesn’t take a path he’s just like my task is to get down there! Glad you had a safe trip man!! Love the content❤️ Keep on truckin🛻
Sunrise in the Grand Canyon is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen in my life. I can't wait to go back again someday and see it again.
Wrong shoes to hike in Mav! Wrong shoe! Imagine an emergency and being stuck in Grand Canyon and having to hike out in sandals? AHHHHH!!
You should always have the buddy system in these kind of places.
WOW! It really is a small world! Thanks for this. Beautiful scenery! You’re very brave to continue your hike . Seeing the first snake would’ve forced me to run, not walk, back to the truck. Chris W.
Terrific, what ever does not kill you makes you stronger.
Dude I honestly love your positive energy and outlook on life 💯
“Good morning snakes” killed me 😂😂😂
The beef stroganoff is my favorite back packing meal. I am a Boy Scout and go on camping trips every month thanks for delicious recipes and love ur vids. KEEP ON TRUCKIN
Thank you, loved every minute of this trip.
This man saw about 5 snakes all around him and STILL layed on the sand with that little ass “Tent”. Balls of steel!
This looks almost exactly like the movie, "into the wild",but the roles are reversed. Even looks like where they filmed the grand canyon scene.
hey thats true hah
i thought exactly the same, but it's different from what i can see. i guess there are many spots looking like this at the grand canyon. into the wild is the best movie ever.
dude i thought the same thing! where chris saw the topless girl and dude XD
@@davidfischer1971 It totally looks like the same place. The video is just missing the topless girl to welcome MAV on the beach lol.
Mav loves that movie. One excellent point is due to his upbringing and his own values he seems at a happy place in life.
I’m super jealous of your life. It’s got to be nice to go where you want, lay your head where you want and do absolutely nothing... when you want! Thanks for the cool videos!!
Stay safe Mav! Love the content, You did well this video!!
Your infomercial sytle merch plugs make me laugh lolll. I also camp in a minvan when i snowboard and surf. You're inspiring me to get a truck setup.
“I’ve never had an MRE before..well a real MRE.”
“Oh yea that’s pretty good”
Yea, you’ve never had a real MRE lol
You are having an awesome trip! That is me next year. Right now watching my favorite TH-cam channel, Mav and healing from major back surgery. Piece of backpacking advice: a walking stick helps with footing on crappy trails, gives you something to lean on durable rest breaks, and is good for rattlers. Also, wear a shirt you don’t want to get sunburned.
I like the different stuff you are doing this time. Makes it great!
no mav, please keep your shirt off ... remember less is more
It looks peaceful and Tranquil. Would be relaxing all around.
“That’s kind of the end of this video”. 😂😂
I’ve been following you for about 3 months. Me and my dad were literally just in the Grand Canyon today. We are in MOAB now. Wish I could’ve seen you mav!!
His name is Terry!!!
Moab is da bomb
What a great adventure! Mav knows how to live life. Let’s all chip in and buy Mav some hiking boots and a hat. Loved the video. 👍
Do you not realize how much money this kid makes I'm sure he can afford boots
@@jamesscott1793 I think that was just a fun
@@kathylarson8876 I hope it was lol
That was a fun interlude on the Colorado River. That water does feel good after hiking down to the river. I was lucky in never encountering any snakes on the trail. I was unlucky in not catching any fish. Another great Mav video.
Great video Mav. Brought back so many memories of the Grand Canyon. Thanks 😀
Do you know how to get here?
I'm pleased to see there were enough commenters willing to guide your decisions regarding footwear, clothing and canyon paths. Saves me from having to do it.
Idk if you read the comments, Mav but me and my 18mo son Max LOVE your content. We love the adventures, the locations, the fishing, the cooking, your truck, and overall motivation and your ability to capture all this on camera for us. Then finally, editing all this content to produce a final product that is both entertaining, inspiring, and informative. We are huge fans, please keep it up
Nice one Mav. I spooked a rattler last summer on a hike. It was coiled up in some grass and oak leaves just afoot or two off trail. That sound is spine chilling hearing it live and in person.
Snake was like "how you doin baby" 😆
I kinda wish Mav was a pot head because those are some amazing smoking spots!!
When he did the vids in Colorado with that chick then went to moab you can see a plastic dispensary container up on the dash
@@ryanlee6147 oh no way I never noticed, definitely smokes up once and a while
@@ryanlee6147 bruh its for flies, fly fishing and dispensary containers are one in the same
@@mav Hi ! great videos ! I love them and I follow you since you started , by the way, next time I'll join you ? ok ? Cheers my friend ! and be careful with the sun ! 🥰
Mav your vlogs are hitting heaps good brother,thank you so much for taking us out for the day 🙏🏼💙
lol The Mountain House meal... "Best by 'Sept 2050'"... think you're good! lol
You are giving me major Harry styles vibes.
I just love your personality & your vibe. The way you live is just perfect for you your such a people person👏👏👏 I admire that shiiiit!
I find lots of Americans are like this, that’s why I much prefer to be around them.
I really enjoy your vids Mav, hopefully one day I can travel to gorgeous places like you!
This my Fav one right here Mav..keep rising above. 💯🤞🏾👍🏾
the fact that you let the sucker go right after it pooped.... melted my heart loll.
Another fun and awesome Vlog, you are full of surprises. I am really enjoying the different types of adventure you are taking us on. Keep up the great work, take care, be safe, stay healthy and well, but most of all Keep on Truckin!
Thanks for taking us along on that hike Mav. We made it out of there with flip flops. 😂. What a rattler of a content. Love it, many thanks.
@showbizonastick no sense of humour I see. Love you too bro.
LMAO MAV UR FUNNY.
Tried popping that top off to look cool then proceed to throw the bottle back like its not gonna spew.
Still love ya bro!
One if the best videos I have seen within the last year of watching you. Nice one MAV! From Alabama always wanted to go there.
I love this mans videos like he just give me the best vibes love your content 🤟🏾❤️ so smart
Hey mav I have a little tip on how to not get sunburnt on your back.
It’s called wearing a shirt.
Lmao
Shirtless videos add new audience. Clickbait material
@@josevich Sure, if ogling at a little prepubescent body is your thing.....
Hi mav... Watching from Bohol Philippines. Its nice to be with all of your vlogs and outdoors adventure camping. ♥️
Wow! The Grand Canyon! What a video. Thank you!
Bro, facts…. That 2x4 pile was like the equivalent of finding a gold mine with the price of lumber right now. You’re campfire was about $80. Just sayin. 🤘
I would have grabbed it but that snake had it first.
So true, at Home Depot one 2x4x8 is $7.98 here in Oregon and thankfully no sales tax.
